tentative ID 2: T. porcatum ))
another locustnik, and seems to be a better match than nigrum... feel free to challenge the ID in courts, Ben...

Moved from Trichapion rostrum.

Identification
Is the host plant for T. rostrum strictly Baptisia? I do not know of any indigo on our property. Is there a specific character that separates this species from T. nigrum, as we do have black locust present on our hillside.

Thanks Vassili
I was going to send you an e-mail last night, but it was pretty late and I didn't get anything terribly coherent finished. I suppose I can check for weevils on the locust flower buds once it leafs out. If I find another one, I will likely collect it.
